Also enclosed within the cabinet is a combined cooling and glassware cleansing as sembly generally referred to at 35 comprising 3 a refrigerating or cooling chamber 36 and a tank 37, having preferably cotermlnus openings upwardly directed The chamber 36 and tank 37 are both suitable lined with sheet metal or Wholly made of metal as will be readily understood.

Disposed along the full width of thechamher 36 and tank 37 there is provided a rail 38 over which and the edge 39 there is provided a closure 40 serving to alternately close either the chamber 36 and the tank 37. This closure serves also, in the nature of a drain for glassware and such as tumblers which may while still wet be inverted and placed thereon and when so formed is inclined towards the tank 37. This closure may also include a guard rail 41 to prevent accidental displace ment of articles mounted thereon.

' Immediately below theedge 42 of the drain 7 there is disposed a tray 43 lying cross wise of the tank 37 having a drain openmg 44 opening into the over flow pipe 45 running through the tank to the waste pipe 46.

Lying lengthwise of the tank 37 is a tray 47 having a drain opening 48 disposed immediately abovethe tray 43 previously described. The tray 47 is disposed upon rails 49 and 50 respectively running crosswise of the tank 37 so that in every position of the tray 47 it will empty into the tray 43. The slidable movement of the tray permits ready access to the tank 37 should it be desired to reach the same as when this is filled with wash water for cleansing or washing of the glassware. A waste outlet 51 is provided at the bottom of the tank and this is connected with thepipe 46 and is controlled by the shut off valve 52 shown so that the contents of the tank may be collected in the waste tray 53.

The pipe line 34 is conducted into the lower portion of the chamber 36 at 54 where it is formed in a number of convolutions or coils 55 resting on the bottom 56 of the chamber. The'return end of the pipe is shown at 57 and is mounted upon the interior face of the wall 16 and conducted to the spigot 58 which is in turn mounted upon the downwardly disposed plate 59 affixed to angle plate 60. Rods 61 connect to the end of the plate and the wall 16 respectively and hold the plate rigidly.

The general position of the spigot 58 is such as to make it conveniently accessible by the server and it will be observed that the drippings thereof will fall into the tray 47 when this is in the forward position.

The chamber 37 is divided into an ice compartment 62 including insulating walls 63 into which may be conveniently disposed the necessary quantity of ice or refrigerating mixture to overly the coils 55. The walls 63 terminate short of the length of the chamber at 64 which form abutting shoulders serving to support Ithe frame 65, havingla central opening 66.

The frame so provided serves to support a tray 67 havinga plurality of compartments 68 into which may be fitted bottled beverages 69. A central flange 70 serves to support a tray 71 for holding an additional quantity of ice or other refrigerating material which may be used with beverages or to cool the bottled beverages disposed about the same. The entire tray 67 may be removed upon sliding of the tray 40 to fill the ice compartment 62. Similarly the tray 71 may be removed to make the ice compartment 62 available for additional ice'or materials stored there.

The ice compartment 62 has provided a drain pipe 72 connecting with thewaste pipe 46 by the T joint 46a and controlled by the valve 46Z2as it may be found necessary to drain the melted contents from the ice compartment.

Other accessories such as a towel holder 73, bottle opener 74 and tray 75 may also be provided to complete the assembly.

It will thus be observed that I have provided a beverage dispensing device which is complete and portable without requirin r any plumbing installation, making the evice convenient for hostelries, club rooms, lodge rooms and the like for transportation from one room to the other wherever service is required and permitting units to be assembled in numbers as required dependingrupon the size of the gatherings to be accommodated. The device when not in use, may be moved to and against the wall of a room without inconvenience and in any way encumbering the appearance of the room as the device takes on the appearance of a buifet, cupboard or similar piece of furniture. Inthis form of use the face or wall 27 is displayed and the face or wall 16 is disposed flush with the wall of the room.

When desired for use, the device is readily rolled to the reverse position exposing the wall 16 towards the center of the room and making the foot rail 24 available for use while the server operates behind the counter upon removal or opening of the doors 28 to the rear face of the counter.

Variation in ornamentation and arrangement of the parts are contemplated within the scope of the claims. I

Having thus described my invention an illustrated its use, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is V 1. In a service device of the character-described, a cabinet including a top forming" therewith a counter or the like, a bottom for Ill said cabinet, a self-contained inter-connected beverage dispensing, storage and cooling as- Y sembly resting on said bottom and afiixed'to said interior of said cabinet, the cabinet being free from outside plumbing installation and including roller mounting for the same villiereby the same may become readily port-- a e. r a

2. In a beverage service of the character described comprising a cabinet mounted on rollers to be readily portable, the combination therewith of a self-contalned inter-connected beverage dispensing, storage and cooling assembly comprising open ended compartments, one of which includes a cooling system, the other being adapted to hold cleansing fluid and a closure slidable to cover either of said compartments.

3. In a beverage service of the character described, mounted on rollers to be readily portable, the combination of a self-contained inter-connected beverage dispensing, storage and cooling assembly comprising open ended compartments, one of which includes a cooling system, the other of which being adapted to hold cleansing fluid, a slidable closure therefor common to said compart-- ments in alternate positions thereof and serving as a drain tray, said last named compartment including a drain, a tray having an out- 7 let connected with said drain and underlying said slidable closure in liquid receiving position, a second tray, superimposed over said first mentioned tray, having an outlet to said first tray and slidable in respect thereto, the exit end of said second tray being discharged into said first tray in all positions thereof.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 7th day of August, 1980. 40 MORRIS FELLERMAN;
